Chapter 2231 Crime and Punishment

Such noble character is enough to be called a role model in the army.

Jiang Wei sincerely praised the general idea, Gu Dayi and Sima Lun's performance. He is worthy of being the person he chose himself. With Sima Lun's mind and demeanor, he is now competent to be the commander of the three armies.

What is even more commendable is that Sima Lun has extremely superior military command skills. If Sima Lun had wiped out a battalion of the Wei army in Yuzhou before, many people think that it was just a coincidence. It was the Wei army's momentary inadequacy that made Sima Lun's merits. Later, the Wei army cheered up. Isn't Sima Lun the same and there was no chance?

This battle at the Dingying Gorge completely reflects Simalun's military talent. His opponent this time is not a cat or a dog, nor a miscellaneous army that was temporarily pieced together by the Wei army, but a tunqi camp, one of the three main forces of the Wei army's cavalry that was famous all over the world.

For many years, the Tunqi Camp has been a nightmare for all walks of life. As long as you hear that your opponent is the Tunqi Camp, many teams will be frightened and fear before fighting. After all, the Tunqi Camp brings a sense of oppression to all walks of life in the world has never been seen by any army.

The Tunqi Camp has invincible attack power, defensive power that is hard to defeat by thousands of enemies, and has extraordinary and impressive results. It is a real ace army.

Fighting with such an opponent is a headache for any general. He cannot attack or prevent it. Moreover, as a cavalry, the Tunqi Battalion crushes any infantry in terms of speed, so once the target locked by the Tunqi Battalion is basically gone.

But Sima Lun successfully ambushed the Tunqi Camp in Dengying Gorge. If it weren't for the slightly worse luck, the Tunqi Camp would probably have been destroyed and completely buried in Dengying Gorge.

In this battle, Sima Lun inherited the usual fine traditions of the Shu army and fought a beautiful ambush, which made the Wei army no longer dare to pursue easily, creating a good condition for the smooth retreat of the Shu army.

However, when meeting in Ma'anshan, Sima Lun still posed a small "difficulty" for Jiang Wei, and Sima Lun handed over Ning Sui, who had been detained, to Jiang Wei for treatment.

Jiang Wei once issued an order to Ning Sui, who was stationed in Sifeng Mountain, asking him to lead his troops to urgently assist Xiling, but in the end Jiang Wei was unable to wait for Ning Sui's arrival. In the end, Xiling was lost and Jiang Wei was forced to retreat to Ma'anshan, and he had never received any news about Ning Sui.

At this moment, Sima Lun and Bu Xie returned, but Sima Lun escorted Ning Sui, which surprised Jiang Wei and asked anxiously why.

Sima Lun was ready to explain the details, but Ning Sui was irrefutable and could only ask Jiang Wei for mercy.

Sima Lun just finished telling the story of the matter without mixing any of his feelings. He handed Ning Sui to Jiang Wei, whom Jiang Wei personally handled it.

Ning Sui's escape in Baisha Tsui was of very bad nature. It can even be said that the loss of Xiling City was mostly his responsibility. If Ning Sui could arrive at Xiling in time, Xiling City would not have been lost so quickly.

Even if Ning Sui was unable to break through the Wei army's blockade in Baisha Tsui, if he tried his best to fight with the Wei army, the Pinghu Camp of the Wei army would not be able to be transferred to Xiling in time and participate in the siege.

But it was precisely because Ning Sui escaped at the last moment and abandoned his subordinates and ignored the loss of nearly 9,000 people in the Shu army. This battle completely changed the situation in Xiling and led to the collapse of the entire Xiling defense line. From this point of view, Ning Sui was unforgivable.

Sima Lun took Ning Sui, but did not do any punishment. Now he handed over the power of governance to Jiang Wei, obviously to see how Jiang Wei handled Ning Sui in front of the generals.

Ning Sui is Jiang Wei's deputy general. Since Jiang Wei served as General of Guard, he has followed Jiang Wei. He can be regarded as Jiang Wei's confidant and confidant, and is one of Jiang Wei's most trustworthy people.

It is precisely because of this that Jiang Wei handed over this reserve team of 10,000 people to Ning Suilai, hoping that he would not lose his chain at critical moments.

But what Jiang Wei didn't expect was that when it was time to hire people, Ning Sui's chain fell faster than anyone else. The collapse of the entire Xiling defense line began with Ning Sui. Now the facts are very clear. Ning Sui is the culprit. He has an unshirkable responsibility for the loss of Xiling.

Sima Lun remained silent about this, and Lu Kang was also silent. All the generals looked at Jiang Wei silently to see how he could deal with Ning Sui.

Ning Sui was ashamed. When he was in Baisha Tsui, he did not expect such a result. If Ning Sui knew that his behavior could affect the final battle situation, he would not have easily escaped if he killed him.

But now it's too late to say anything, and a big mistake has been forged, and it's too late to regret it. Now Ning Sui also knows that his life and death are only related to Jiang Wei's thoughts, so he desperately kowtowed Jiang Wei to beg for mercy, hoping that Jiang Wei would spare his life in the respect of his past love.

To be honest, Jiang Wei and Ning Sui have a good relationship. Ning Sui can become Jiang Wei's confidant, but it is not just as simple as being a licking dog. As a deputy general, Ning Sui still showed extraordinary abilities when dealing with common affairs, which really played a role in solving problems for Jiang Wei.

In fact, Ning Sui's ability is limited to handling some trivial matters. His level is still far inferior to his true leadership in combat. Just like Ma Su, who Zhuge Liang valued at the time, was more than enough to be a staff officer, but when he really stood alone, it was useless.

Jiang Wei’s mistake is exactly the same as Zhuge Liang. Trust does not mean ability. Putting incompetent trust in positions they are incompetent will sooner or later make a big mistake.

Zhuge Liang's tears to kill Ma Su was indeed a helplessness. After all, someone had to take the blame for the failure of the Northern Expedition.

By the same token, Jiang Wei could not forgive Ning Sui. If Jiang Wei wanted to convince the public, he had to punish Ning Sui Mingdian. Sima Lun did not say anything, but his attitude was definitely the most decisive, not to mention that Hu Fen had something to do before. Hu Fen was also executed for losing the Jieting. Jiang Wei pardoned Ning Sui today. How could he explain to the soldiers and how to maintain his prestige?

Jiang Wei glanced at the generals and said in a deep voice: "I would rather escape with the battle, neglect the morale of the army, and punish them unforgivable. People come and behead them and show them to the public, so as to correct the military law!"

Ning Sui heard this and collapsed on the ground like mud. He knew that once Jiang Wei made a decision, it would be unchangeable. This time he was really dead.

The swordsman escorted Ning Sui and soon presented the head. No one spoke in the central army's tent, and the atmosphere was very dull and depressing...
